How VCI rust inhibitors work?
Zerust® VCI rust inhibitors work by releasing a harmless, non-toxic, odorless, colorless vapor into the air around your metal item. Protective molecules settle on all exposed metal surfaces, forming a very thin protective layer that is just a few molecules thick. This molecular layer inhibits electrochemical reactions on the surface of the metal that cause corrosion. Exposed metal surfaces protected by Zerust® benefit from a long-lasting shield against rust, tarnish and corrosion.
What is the difference between a rust inhibitor and rust preventative?
Rust inhibitors are commonly chemicals added to a substance to prevent corrosion or lower the rate of corrosion. The inhibitor molecule attaches or coats the metal surface, by forming a thin protective film either by itself or in conjunction with metallic ions, providing a protective barrier film that stops the corrosive reaction from developing.
Rust preventative coatings rely on the formation of a barrier on the metal surface to prevent water from contacting the metal surface. The protective coating that forms vary from (dry-to-the-touch, oily, semi-hard or soft) depending on the product used and also allow different application methods (brush-on, spray-on, or immersion/dip).
